Tom Rogic nets as Celtic thrash Rangers in Scottish Cup semi-final

Celtic converted two second-half penalties, scored by Dembele and Olivier Ntcham, as Rangers were reduced to 10 men in a one-sided encounter at Hampden Park.

"We have had a really good training week and we enter into it to win. We'll look at it in the cold light of day".

'What the players have done in the last couple of seasons has really inspired the supporters to believe they can actually achieve the impossible sometimes.

But, of course, when you get to the semi-final stage and you win and there is something there at the end of it, then it makes it extra special.

'You always have to deal with the tactics of the opponent. We pressed it well and deserved to get to the final.

Obviously, Graeme is starting out his career. I'm always one where the mantra is the next game. However, by telling his side to sit off Celtic, it merely gave the Hoops time and space to play, which they ruthlessly exploited.
